Today's #flashfiction Superpowers

“Close enough.”

CJ's coming over today so that'll be enterfunment. Anyway onto the
flash fiction!

Superpowers

A unique radioactive reaction turned me, a regular guy, into a man
with super speed. I thought my name of Victor would be a distant
memory, or just a some part of my secret identity. I imagined that I
would experience the life of the super hero.

However society held different plans for me. I've got no super
villains to fight so I tried to become a police officer. But that
meant that I didn't have a secret identity. The military offered me a
job and I decided to take it, thinking I could do more there. But
before I managed to get into the field some other people had
different ideas for me after the tests on my powers were done.

“Victor, the Commander in Chief says you're taken off of any field
duty and deployed to a base.”

When I got to the base there was a hamster wheel. The largest I'd
ever seen. They'd built it for me. I soon learn that people learned
that I was the greenest of energy and decided to use me for energy. I
ran so fast that I could fill massive batteries in a single hour.

Now I wonder what would have happened if I'd gotten the power of
flight.
